More than 200 community members have come together to plant and guard 3,000 indigenous plants as part of National Tree Planting Day in Knox. The large-scale effort aims to restore and protect the local environment for future generations.
Volunteers from local environmental groups, including the Knox Environment Society (KES), Nature Stewards Program graduates, and dedicated Friends groups, took part in the planting effort. Scouts also made their mark by constructing their longest-ever ‘snake tube’ to help support the planting activity.
The event was further supported by the Rotary Club of Fern Tree Gully, who provided a barbecue lunch to keep participants energised throughout the day.
Organisers praised the teamwork and community spirit on display, calling it a testament to the passion residents have for protecting and enhancing the natural landscape in Knox.
“Events like these remind us what’s possible when a community comes together,” one organiser said. “Every plant in the ground today represents a small step toward a healthier, greener future for Knox.”
National Tree Planting Day continues to serve as a powerful example of grassroots environmental action, with this year’s event marking another major success for the Knox community.
